I understand your situation, I think. Before I bought my 2001 Boxster base last May, I did a whole winter of research. I ended up buying one with 35k miles and have done 5k miles since with no problems. I did have a PPI done on it and there is a slight oil leak on bell housing/rear of engine and they say it could be the RMS or possible IMS leak. Have not replaced IMS yet(that will happen within 2 years)but had installed the IMS guardian that indicates possible ims failure if it is going to happen. Hope this helps u. Otherwise it is a great car but I cannot run this car for the $$$$ of my previous Miata.
RMS/IMS/clutch when I have it done will be about $2-3K. Still no regrets buying this car.
Cheers
